Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this 2000 Namiki Yukari Limited Edition 320/700 Maki-e Fountain Pen fitted with an 18K Medium nib in the "Bald Eagle" scene. This fountain pen comes in the original box with all the Namiki documentation, Limited Edition card, and Ink Bottle. I consider this Namiki Yukari Fountain Pen to be in Mint Condition.

NOTE: The Bald Eagle Yukari Maki-e Fountain Pen that I have here is a Limited Edition that is numbered 320. The nib date code is  April 2000. This particular Namiki had artist Seiki Chida perform the Maiki-e artwork. The Limited Edition Bald Eagle Fountain Pen features the Taka-maki-e (raised Maki-e). The Taka-Maki-e method is a Maki-e applied on patterns in raised relief and dates to the 12th century. The spreading of gold dust on a precise area and to a desired density is a skill that requires great expertise and experience. Namiki developed this lacquering technique in 1925 and has since earned an international reputation for producing the finest Maki-e decorated fountain pen available.  (The Namiki website provides steps that go into this process here.)

Artist Seiki Chida has captured a stunning scene on the body and cap of the fountain pen of the Bald Eagle in flight with a fish in its talons in a mountain scene.  Namiki Bald Eagle was made by master maki-e artist Seiki Chida - his signature displays on the pen's barrel in image 9. The Namiki logo and the NAMIKI name can be seen stamped into the clip. Image 8 is the image stitched together for "you" to see the scene in its entirety. 

The fountain pen features a wonderful 18K/750 nib tuned by the masters at Namiki, ensuring long-lasting, impeccable writing performance. The nib iridium tipping measures .78mm when measured with digital calipers - or a Medium nib point. The nib has a date code of A0400, or April 2000. Namiki nibs are some of the best-made 18K Gold Nibs in the World.. The pen has been dipped at some point but is in mint condition. 

This Namiki Yukari Fountain Pen measures 5 5/8" in length capped. The diameter of the barrel is .46" inches. Weighs 1.13 ounces.

The fountain pen comes in a black lacquered presentation box and includes a Con-70 converter, bottle of ink, Namiki literature, and Limited Edition card. 

The process of hand-crafting these fountain pens takes four months or longer to complete. This technique, though painstaking, gives this fountain pen its deep lustrous sheen and has been used by Namiki craftsmen since the company's inception back in 1918.

This Limited Edition Namiki Bald Eagle Fountain Pen is an exquisite display of artistry and craftsmanship. I would consider this Namiki to grade in Mint Condition. This is a very special, high-cachet fountain pen that is ready to write with or just add it to your writing arsenal collection.
